Your Pup's Home Away from Home!

Pet care experience

If you're looking for someone to care for your pup, then you have chosen the right person. In our home, all pups are treated as they are our family. We give them all the attention they could want. What makes my services so special is that I cater the experience to each individual pet. If your fur baby loves lazy days that works for me because I love to cuddle on the couch and read. If your pup is high energy we will prioritize exercise and play during our time together. I will provide multiple updates and photos so you can see firsthand what your pup is up to when in my care. We are home every day and able to spend every moment with your pup during their stay! All people in my home adore canines. While I do work in the office 3 days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) my partner and my roommate work from home and will be providing mid-day walks and plenty of attention while I am away. I currently have a 2-year-old golden retriever named Ziti who has been trained and is great with people and other dogs. He is full of energy, friendly, and loves playing. His favorite game is keep away with a tennis ball. Ziti is neutered and up to date on all of his vaccinations. Our home is large (3,000 sq ft) and has plenty of space for your pup to roam around and play. Our family room has a dog play drawer full of toys. We believe in giving not only physical stimulation but also mental stimulation. We regularly practice the following commands with Ziti (sit, stay, down, up, jump, paw, search, and leave it). We have a large outdoor space but it is not fenced in. We do have 50 feet cables in the back for the dogs to get some outside time. Outside time is always supervised. We do not leave pups outside by themselves. We usually will have them on the cables while we are working in our vegetable garden in the morning. The backyard backs onto a large field which is perfect for the pups to play fetch in.

Kristin did an absolutely amazing job caring for Diana- I got amazing photos of Diana hanging out with Ziti and going on walks. I absolutely would book with her again, and I know Diana would love to go back!

Kristin does an amazing job with our anxious pup Luna! She really knows how to take care of her well and takes her on lots of walks, and sends lots of pictures. Luna comes home exhausted from all the playing!

Kristin was very attentive of our pup and shared a ton of pictures with us during his stay. She was very caring and our dog seemed to have an amazing time with her.

Information Kristin S. would like to know about your pet

All pups must be up to date on vaccines and flea and tick prevention. Proof of vaccines is due prior to staying. Let us know if your dog is people and pup-friendly and ready to enjoy fun times with Ziti. Call us today and we’ll make sure to give your pup the very best care!

A typical day

Our backyard connects to the Greenbelt Forest Preserve where all visiting pups can go for one of their daily adventure trail walks. If we are watching your pup on the weekend they will get a nice walk in the Beltsville Agricultural Center. We only take walks in that direction on the weekends or in the late evening because that is when the gates are closed to vehicular traffic. Other places where we like to go are the Firefly sanctuary, Greenbelt Lake and Ziti loves to go to the tennis court to search for tennis balls.
